It sure looks like a dragon, feels like a dragon, moves like a dragon. Even STS in their screenshot called it arcanite dragon.
BUT the name??? Yinshe... in chinese, it means Silver SNAKE! (银蛇)
How come its cousin Zhulong got to be named Marble-red Dragon (珠龙) whereas this boi is a snek??
STS please change it, its probably bugging all of us chinese players XDDD

Does yinshe have an aura like the other dragons? A passive one
Yes. Yinshe has a passive that regenerates Mana. I don’t think it was added anywhere in the description. I’ll get that fixed when I can.Quote:

That pic should have said “feathered serpent “ so it didn’t refer to one of several gods (Tohil, Gukumatz, or Kukulcan), who all are represented that way visually.
Also, I could pick apart the word fae, but won’t here
Had to, sorry
XD
Yes, you are right. I also noticed they included a god but i thought it was an example of wyrm type, since its most famous of them (no wings, no legs. Just feathers)Quote:

Plus all the previous dragon pets are all named properly e.g shenlong（神龙）zhulong（珠龙）fuzanglong （dunno what it translates to mandarin but i'd say its 俯藏龙）STS pls do a bit of research next time even tho chinese community is smallQuote:

It is certainly dragon looking but the name doesn’t reflect to its look.
Even yinjiao 银蛟would be much more appropriate

Basically all chinese pinyin can become something else completely. And thats only mandarin. Adding in dialects and everything is more chaos.Quote:

My take on this topic. This is an example of cultural appropriation. Such that you inaccurately portray another culture and their customs, not to mention that Sts is benefiting from this event.
They should've done more research about it, furthermore, unsure why they haven't address the issue yet despite Cinco had already left a comment here?

If you ever think your thread is useless, remember these guys are discussing about changing the name of a pet because the name isnt that good.
Nah honestly, guys its just a name... if you have a cat named Carl, you dont call the cat Carl because it is a Carl, nah its still a cat. You dont use the name as a definition. Yinshe is a dragon, with the name Silversnake. Calling it silversnake doesnt make Yinshe to a snake.
Names of previous dragons describe them. But this dragon's name describing it to be a snake. How offended is he... think about his feelings.Quote:
